First, I would contact the MANUFACTURERS (not dealers) for the rigs you are thinking of buying. Ask them directly about getting warranty work done at other-then-selling-dealer locations. Will they find a dealer if needed and grease the skids a little for you ? What is their authorization process ? And also ask if they will pay an independent mobile RV mechanic. I have a Heartland product and they will. Or will they reimburse you if you have to pay him first.
As others state, do a comprehensive PDI. And use the rig as much as possible before you leave the area of your selling dealer.
The warranty is most likely for one year anyway and it sounds like you will use it for over half of that, so you're really only talking about 4-5 months after you move.
Your question is the situation that all full timers deal with. Or by someone from Wisconsin on a family vacation to Yellowstone. I full time and have no 'home' dealer. I had warranty work performed at a non-selling dealer twice.
